I don't know about bad acting - most of the acting was fairly 
reasonable. However, the editing leaves much to be desired. Character 
says 3 lines. Cut to fantastical shot. Cut to another character. 
Character says a few words. Cut to another impossible landscape. Cut to 
something happening in space. Cut. Cut. Cut.

If you watch the originals, there are whole scenes where nothing 
"really" happens much. Like some people walk around, and it's kinda 
spooky, and they mutter a few words to each other, and you're not really 
sure what's going to happen next... The new films don't appear to 
contain anything like that.

Also the story is pretty weak. But hey.

I actually quite enjoyed Star Wars I. I still watch it from time to 
time. But once you've watched it once, there's not a huge amount to 
watch again. I would say it's the best of the new batch. The other two 
just seem to offer nothing. [Unless you just want to enjoy the - 
admittedly cutting edge - visuals.]
